Outbreak 001 CDMX // Oct 31
ZOMBIES. A real-life survival game
It’s Saturday. It’s Halloween. 🎃
You’ve spent all week in talks, panels and networking. Time to get outside and play.
- Sat, Oct 31
- 12–2 PM
- Chapultepec Park
- $200 MXN
We’re turning Chapultepec Park into a real-life multiplayer video game, and your phone is the controller. One person starts as a zombie. Everyone else is trying to survive.
The Unprofessionals and Quest Collective (opens in a new tab)
Survival briefing
One zombie.
Everyone else is prey.
Think childhood tag, upgraded: your phone runs the game, but your legs, your instincts and the people around you decide whether you make it.
- Status: Human
01: Survive
Dodge zombies, collect health packs, and stay alive as long as possible.
- Status: Infected
02: Get infected
A zombie got you? Congratulations. You’re one of them now.
- Status: Hunting
03: Join the hunt
Switch sides, chase the remaining survivors, and help spread the outbreak.
Never played before? Perfect.
No gaming experience needed, but you will be running, so come ready to move. We’ll get you ready before the outbreak begins: introductions, phone setup, the rules and a few survival tips.
At the end, survivors and zombies regroup to see who made it out, who didn’t, and how ;)

Warning
This is not a drill.
You’ll run. You’ll hide. You’ll be chased. And if you get caught, you’ll become the thing you were running from.
You’ll be chased. You’ll try to hide. You might turn on your friends.
Expect suspense, thrilling chases, ridiculous moments, and a whole lot of fun.
The tech
What if technology brought us closer together in real life?
Your phone is the controller.
The real world is the game.
Forget another afternoon staring at a screen. This time, technology sends you into the real world: running, hiding, strategizing, and trying to survive alongside other humans.
Tech that gets you off the couch, not glued to it.
The free PlayCulture app runs the game and helps you collect health packs and stay alive. A multiplayer video game, except you’re actually inside it.
- Your phone is the controller.
- You’re the player.
- The park is the game.
- The zombies are real people.
Before you play
You’ll need a fully charged smartphone with mobile data and the free PlayCulture app installed.
The game is played in English. Basic English comprehension is recommended.

Why we teamed up
We both think adult life could use a lot more surprise. The Unprofessionals designs experiences that get people out of work mode; Quest guides people into the unknown. A zombie apocalypse in a park is exactly where those meet: you don’t know what’s coming, you don’t know who’s on your side, and you end up laughing with strangers. And we love using technology the other way round: not to keep you on a screen, but to get a crowd of humans into the same park.
Because making friends as an adult shouldn’t be harder than surviving a zombie apocalypse.
Game technology by PlayCulture
Safety & participation Read before you run
The game takes place in a public outdoor space. To keep it fun for everyone:
- Respect other people using the park.
- Avoid unsafe running, roads, blind corners and restricted areas.
- No dangerous physical contact.
- You’re responsible for your personal belongings and for playing within your abilities. There’s no secure bag storage, so travel light.
- Follow the organizers’ instructions on the day.
Photos and video may be taken at the event. If you’d rather not appear in them, just tell an organizer when you arrive.
The game runs on PlayCulture, so you play under their terms of use.
Will you survive?
There’s only one way to find out.
